Suresh Rajakumari’s ‘Sirai’ is a tight, focused, satisfying drama about a cop and a criminal

The film is about many things. It’s about law versus justice. It’s about the small changes in the character of the protagonist. It’s about the details of police work. And it’s about what it means to belong to a minority community. All these ideas come together in a very cohesive manner. A more detailed review follows, and it may contain spoilers. Vikram Prabhu gives a solid performance as the leading man of Suresh Rajakumari’s Sirai, but he is not the hero.

When the attacks on India become frequent, the IB Chief decides to send an operative into Pakistan. That’s Ranveer Singh. What follows is a film that gives you the bloody satisfaction you crave from action cinema and also the intensity and intelligence you want in a political spy thriller. That’s the short take. A longer review follows, and it may contain spoilers. In Dhurandhar, Aditya Dhar has made something ambitious, something epic.

The film is centered on the romance between the characters played by Ayushmann Khurrana and Rashmika Mandanna. But this love story is not affecting, and neither are there enough scares and laughs. The film is sit-through-able, but from this franchise I expected more. That was the short take. A longer review follows and it may contain spoilers. After Lokah, we get another vampire movie that’s part of a universe – and Thamma, too, is based on folklore.
